For one piece of data, I've been doing everything via tor for three years now. I have yet to have a problem. This includes banking and filing my taxes in the US. > If I were to offer a free Torified WiFi hotspot, I'd feel obliged to > put up a splash page explaining how it works, and force people to > check a box to state they understand, before they are given access to > browse anything else.

In past conversations with lawyers, if you throw up a splash screen and require the user to choose I agree/do not agree, this becomes a legal contract and you become liable as a service provider. It's better to leave it completely open, or maybe the captured portal is info only, and the user can read/ignore/bypass the portal with ease to continue browsing. Fine ideas, just the same. -- Andrew http://tpo.is/contact pgp 0x6B4D6475 _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
